Public viewing spots in Munich: Soccer World Cup 2026
The 2026 FIFA World Cup for men's national teams runs from June 11 to July 19 this year. To mark the occasion, some matches will be broadcast live from your city's favorite venues.
We are not uncritical of the World Cup: FIFA, money and the political situation in the USA are inseparable for us. Nevertheless, we think so: Cultural venues and pubs that show matches deserve support because they create spaces for encounters, exchange and shared experiences. This article is therefore primarily a guide to precisely these places - not an advertisement for the structures behind them. Take care of yourselves and stay respectful of each other. 🫂
Here you can find our location tips in Munich to cheer on the live matches of the 2026 World Cup. Pubs, beer gardens and more: let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere, grab your favorite friends and choose your hotspot in Munich! ✨
